Sopley Camp
Formerly the home of RAF Sopley, http://www.subbrit.org.uk/rsg/sites/s/sopley/index4.html , built 1952 to house radar apparatus, with accommodation for 450 personnel. The building to the left housed an emergency generator. The camp closed in 1974, and has subsequently been used to house the Household Cavalry for rest & recreation; to house Vietnamese refugees, and currently, renamed Merryfield Park, as a business park.http://archive.thisisdorset.net/2007/1/24/122448.html
